''Nao obviously completely trusts and looks up to Shunsuke. She's obviously grateful to him and seems to strongly believe in him, but... I don't really see any hints of romance between them. If Nao's got those sort of feelings for anyone, I think it's Yuu, much though she wouldn't want to admit it.''

But why would she have feeling for Yuu? So far in the series there was nothing shown to point that way.

Tbh would rather see this series without romance.Unless at last episodes Maeda actually build their relationship towards that way.Which would prolly again be something rushed imo.

Only reason i can think of Nao having feelings for Yuu is that he is the MC nothing else tbh.

Not every series needs romance would like it if they dont go down that way...

I'm not the one who said Nao has feelings for Yuu; Katsuruka said that.

I don't think Nao has feelings for Yuu just yet. It's like you said; there's no reason for her to fall for him right now. But Maeda said that this series was going to be "romantic and serious". Also, there was quite an amount of shiptease for Nao/Yuu (mainly by Ayumi). That's why it's safe to assume that Maeda intends to pair these two up.

Yuu started crushing on Nao after she 'rescued' him. The OP's falling-from-the-sky-scene hints that at some point, Yuu is going to rescue Nao. If Nao ever develops feelings for Yuu, it should be after that.


oh sorry then. Anyway i agree with you.
Tho i have to say not so many episodes left and there seems to be quite a few things to deal with.So if indeed Maeda wants serious and romantic i think it would be hard to pull in a passable or believable way.I just hope we wont see some kind of cringeworthy cliche type of romance tho.Rather see none than that.

Yuu is my favorite character. Naofag is inappropriate. I come off that way only because I have to defend her from blind hatred.

♟- is chess piece which is equivalent to Nao in Charlotte


Not sure if that "newfag" part was aimed at me, but... If my account is that new that is news to me. I thought I registered here years ago >_>

I generally like to read threads more than contribute/write in them these days. Maybe it's a fascination with reading more on this, but I didn't find Charlotte to have underlining points or interpretive aspects until episode 6 hit. Then I started browsing here and Reddit's threads on the show. I was actually planning on my first post to be in the "Logic of this series and theories about the world" thread, but here was sufficient, and you provided ample opportunity and a reason for me to justify taking the time to write out something on this, so thanks.


I still stand by what I wrote though ;)


I should probably note this here before receive crap: I actually do greatly appreciate your posts on comparisons and information for upcoming episodes though. They are a great means of speculating what happens in the upcoming episodes.

Don't tell me we're seeing a love triangle between Yu and Nao and Yu's brother... And I wonder if Nao was involved in the "past" (the "dream") too


I feel like that she might of, and I highly doubt a love triangle would happen since Nao seems to look up at him like an inspirational figure.

Wow, a lot of your predictions does come true, guys!


Maybe I shouldn't have looked at the prediction thread so often. Now since I marathoned episode 8-9 together the revelation feels pretty rushed (Sala being conveniently meet Yuu and opened Yuu and Nao's brother minds feels... too convenient and forced, though it can be because that's part of Shunsuke's work).

Also, here is another question, what if she lied that she was there the entire time? During the fight scenes, the gangsters only saw Yuu, not Nao and there were more than 10+ members. It could be possible that she asked Pooh for the location of Yuu since his ability is to find espers. Also, another thing.. When her Brother was cured due to Yuu's influence, she sounded like she didn't appreciate on what Yuu had done. She kept saying about her brother and her brother, but when he got cured.. She remains emotionless like really?

The salad that arrives after Yuu had ordered only pizza in his first day of "exile", foreshadows the reveal that Nao was with him the whole time, so... no.
For the second part, please rewatch that scene.


Actually, I did. The salad that arrived late was probably a complementary or it just came with the pizza, but what bothers me the most is that people, he interacted with, did not notice that Nao was near him.. So, that is why I am skeptic that if she was there in the first place

I rewatched it, but her voice felt like her normal emotionless voice compared to her excited and sentimental tones of voice

that's just the opinion of Westerners.
It was unanimous in Japan that Yurippe was the best girl and the best pairing for Otonashi.
And the route Yurippe, is preferred by the Japanese.
Not to mention the large amount of doujins, fanarts and manga-hentais between Yurippe x Otonashi.

HAHAHAHAH
What a fucking joke.
Literally everyone who has looked up Angel Beats in the web knows that Kanade is infinitely more popular than Yuri, in both the western and the japanese fanbase., as she has about 5-10 times the amount of doujins and fanart compared to every other AB character.


Why do people love a blank shell so much over a girl with a cool fighting style, sense of humour, actual personality, enthusiasm and tragic past?

Dude, I agree with you 210%... Actually the romance between Kanade and Otonashi was like a hit to the the left field.. Out of nowhere.. I didn't see anything that would make Kanade Unique except for
I thought it was going to be Yurippe and Otonashi since they had a good chemistry.. But, Oh well.. I am okay with the latter lol

You have good taste then.

I usually take perspective when it comes to characters which makes me decide if I like or dislike them or not. Kanade is one of the few exceptions to this. I can't go into her perspective so I can't view her as a human. So I view her as a character, I end up disliking her. Yuri on the other hand, was actually interesting despite her acting a little tsundere towards some characters. I'd be fine if Kanade at least showed any more emotion than being quiet and not annoying but... She never did that. She smiled only once in the entire show. I couldn't connect with her at all.

She ordered the salad for him. Yuu himself points out how weird it was, probably because there was no such promotion on the menu and the waitress acted like the salad was ordered normally.
What if he had started eating something more healthy before she came to him? Wouldn't she have revealed her lie by saying that stuff I posted?
What exactly should the other people have noticed? That there was another person nearby?
The anime literally shows us the scenes where she was with him.

Stahp.

I rewatched it, but her voice felt like her normal emotionless voice compared to her excited and sentimental tones of voice

Ok. Not sure what to say.

That post rock singer and Yuu's brother are both blind

The post rock singer went back in time to sacrifice her brother.

Yuu's brother went back in time to save Ayumi (the first time, then she died again so now Yuu has to go back and save her).

Going back in time makes you blind.

My theory.

A band concert with chairs??? Odd..


Anyway, this took a dark turn early on... So his Yu's brother leapt back through time... He did mention he needs to see light so maybe his enemies blinded him? This way he can't time leap anymore...

This is really interesting. We'll see what happens next.

Also! I finally found out why the show is named Charlotte:

... my mind is full of more fucks than it is when watching porn.

I'm seriously concerned about the story direction (pls don't be another ham-fisted "time leap to save someone's life" story), but this was one hell of an episode.

P.S. That performance sounded NOTHING like post-rock, not that I ever expected Zhiend to actually sound like a post-rock band. The sound director really should've done better research.

Gah, what an utter clusterfuck.

Time leaping has been done to death, surely they could come up with something a little less convenient and dreadful. If they end up bringing the little sister back...it will plummet into sheer drivel. I also cannot buy the little sister being so perky and desu-desu while being kept as a guinea pig in a prison-like facility while one of her brothers is being horribly restricted.

As for stealing people's abilities, for one horrible moment I thought I was watching Guilty Crown all over again.

And chairs in a concert? Makes no sense.

What is this, Soviet Russia? There's no way that research lab is in Japan cuz there's no way the law would allow people to be treated that way. Who is funding that place anyways?

What's the point of dissecting Ayumi? Is there something unique about their organs that can only be studied via dissection? Wouldn't killing the patient make it stop functioning, so how wold they study it through that? Their powers seems to be all in the brain anyways, but what can you learn by dissecting a dead brain that you can't through brain scans? Its like the show just used the most cliche science tropes without a clue about the reasoning behind them.

A normal brain is already beyond complex, there's no way you can learn much of anything about how these super-powers work through isolated cell culturing. Wouldn't it be better to keep her alive so they can experiment on how she responds to different treatments? And if her powers are so powerful and special, why would they be so quick to kill her anyways? If she's considered too dangerous and they have no way of containing these kid's powers, then how are they managing her time-leaping brother?

Lastly, these kids should be quarantined or managed in some way. Powers like these are almost certain to bring chaos and danger to the public. They shouldn't be treated like lab rats but they shouldn't be allowed to roam freely either.

i dont know if she is inlove with MC's brother but i can say its probably "admiration" since its MC's brother help Nao about everything, hospital bill,her brother etc. Remember the episode Nao said she stop trusting people, but theres only 1? its MC's brother

You did not see her reaction around him.
If he tells her to have sex with him, she has sex with him without a second thought.
Just see the reaction that the MC had when he saw the intimacy between the two.
Its been pretty good so far, hope they don't mess it up.
If MC brother tels Nao to betray Yuu and she goes wof wof, I'm so breaking sth.
